Shyne Signs Seven-Figure Deal With Def Jam

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

honestly, what does he have to rap about?  ten years in prison.  the only legitimate route for him to take is

A) talk about the mess that landed him there
B) talk about prison life
C) go the conscious route (something like TI did)
D) all the above

^ That's funny. He can rap about the normal BS every other rapper claims to do, lol.

lol, for real.

lol... that was kind of funny... but really, he does have alot to rap about.  He can work the whole 2pac angle with the prison time, and then he can rap about Puffy turned his back on him, kind of like 2pac did with Biggie/Bad Boy Records.

So to me it seems he actually has a lot he can rap about.

[Action!]

What club shit?

He done been locked up.

I'm interested to hear his final product.  The only thing I want to hear him from is touching on the situation there, prison life, and how he's changed.  Anything else such as club shit or women I'll find hard to believe unless it's about past relationships or family that stuck through.

I think he was referring to the Club incident that landed him in jail.

He shouldve signed with Dre but that album mightve come out longer than his prison sentence lol.

[sofdark]

Wow, that jail sentence could have been the best thing that happened to Shyne's career. 7 figure deal? That's crazy for someone who hasnt put out nothin in so long.

You don't know details. Does Def Jam pay everything or does Shyne have to pay for studio time, producers, etc. himself?

This press release sounds too good to be true if you ask me.

I'm sure theres a twist. Rappers be talking like they got paid mad loots in the beginning, but later when their contract ends, they'll be givng out their testimony about the slavery they had to go through.

Nobody should sign with Aftermath. Wasn't Busta Rhymes the last person to debut on Aftermath? That was in 2006. Lol. Sad. Aftermath has released 5 albums in 5 years, and that includes Eminem's refill album. What kind of record label is that?

[TRG]

Sign with Dre? nooo waay.

Hope it all works ouy for Shyne, but im not really interested in a Shyne album.

Most of the releases have went platinum though.

I remember when Royce 5'9" was working on the Chronic 2 album back in 1999 and I was sure that he was going to be the next big artist to blow up.  Then I heard that he went and signed a deal with Tommy Boy.  I bet at the time he had an opportunity with Aftermath or possibly Shady Records after it was started in 2000.  He really should of waited and done whatever was necessary to stay on good terms with Dre.  But instead he ended up being a disgruntled emcee

Royce's manager blew the Aftermath deal with the whole "The Way I Be Pimpin'" & "The Message" affair..

A shame though, Royce could have been the new Nas or Jigga with all that talent.

Yeah, that's if you ever release an album. Like I said, Busta was the last new artist on Aftermath to release anything and that was over 3 years ago. Whatever happened to Joell Ortiz , Stat Quo, Rakim, Eve, Bishop Lamont, Hittman?

[Sikotic™]

I hope Shyne celebrates by going to a club with his piece.

Word... but I'm pretty sure he had already signed to Tommy Boy before his manager ruined his relaionship with Dre

[Jaydc]

If you ask me,dre was being a fucking cry baby about the situation.Royce stood his ground like a man should.

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

I find this report hard to believe, for the fact that Shyne isn't a very marketable artist to today's mainstream?
